CSIRO required the provision of a system that would allow them to monitor a number of extra low voltage (ELV) plant systems as well as key elements of the supercomputer in real time. This was to track, improve and visualise the power usage effectiveness (PUE) of the entire facility.

The Pawsey Supercomputing Centre is a 1,000-square metre, world-class supercomputing centre built to host new supercomputing facilities and expertise to support Square Kilometre Array (SKA) pathfinder research, geosciences and other high-end sciences. It also demonstrates Australia’s ability to deliver and support world-class advanced ICT infrastructure.
